Up the steps
A person climbs the stairs of a car park in Figueres, right next to the Dalí Theatre and Museum, if memory serves. A beautiful building surrounded by brutal modern structures for modern car life.
The look of a cat
Hoppy, curled up and asleep one afternoon, looks over at me in curiosity. No, I didn’t have any treats. Back to sleep she goes.
Poolbeg Power station behind gates
I spotted this gate at the Forty Foot in Dún Laoghaire yesterday, and then noticed the decommissioned Poolbeg Power station was visible through the bars. There weren’t any swimmers about at this end of the Forty Foot, so I got a few photos of two iconic symbols of Dublin in one scene!
Paddleboarding with his dog
I was in Dún Laoghaire today on a beautiful afternoon. Sandycove Beach and the Forty Foot were both thronged with swimmers and people relaxing. I wish I brought my togs and a towel, but I had my camera and snapped a photo of this gentleman with his dog out on the water, paddleboarding!
A cat on a car roof
A tabby cat on a car roof, down a narrow street in Athens. He watched us carefully as we walked past, but he’s obviously used to people and didn’t budge at all, even as a stopped and took a few photos of him.
Laughing and chatting
Two women enjoying a chat while seated on a bench by a canal in Amsterdam. It was a lovely afternoon.
Water flows into water
The Mullinhassig waterfall flows in a long exposure shot, on a recent visit there with Blarney Photography Club.
Sky High Vantage Point
A seagull resting on a very tall pole in Dingle, Co Kerry, with the setting sun lighting up the sky in wonderful colours.
Reach for the skies
Figueres, in Catalonia, Spain is where Salvador Dali was born in 1904. You’ll find the Dalí Theatre and Museum in the town and some of his statues scattered around the place. Here’s one that’s fairly close to the museum. It’s quite a surreal piece, and it was quite a sight to see it out in…
Hang on in there
Far above the waterfall at Mullinhassig, I found small shoots and leaves growing out of a tree trunk.
Photos at the Conor Pass
A family stopped at the top of the Conor Pass to take photos of each other on a glorious July day in 2022.
Queuing for the train
The metro station at Monastiraki Square in Athens, Greece, is rarely quiet, and we arrived just as people were getting on the train.
